What my clients say

I would like to thank Chris and Nadia for marketing my property and all the hard work they both did to get me a successful sale result. I have enjoyed working with them and appreciate their commitment and professionalism. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell.

R Morrow

We are so grateful to Chris and Nadia for their hard work, professionalism and positive outlook in the successful sale of our property!

G & K Brown

We would like to pass on a thank you message to Chris and Nadia. We have finally settled into our new house and we wanted to send a huge thank you to Chris and Nadia Bone for their hard work, knowledge and patience. We never dreamed we would be able to sell our home (Millennial Way, Orewa) and we couldn't have done it without their expertise, wisdom and guidance along the way. We can't thank them enough for helping us through this new journey. We have finally moved into our dream home and we couldn't have done it without Chris & Nadia. Thank you Chris & Nadia from The Mumford family.

D & A Mumford

Working with Nadia and Chris Bone was an absolute delight. They communicated with efficiency and led us throughout the whole process. We never felt out of touch.

We thoroughly recommend them as the best salespeople we have ever dealt with and would be privileged to engage their services again should the need arise.

Roger & Angie MacKellow

"We definitely feel that we have made the best decision choosing Chris & Nadia Bone for the sale of our house. They have just been amazing from the get go! They understood exactly what we wanted and how to go about making the journey as effortless as possible. Their professionalism, kindness and eagerness to help us get the best possible outcome was very heartfelt. We appreciate all the hard work and long hours they have put into helping us get there. We would definitely recommend them to anyone selling a house."

Sebastian & Almarie

"We appreciate the work Chris & Nadia have done in selling our property in Orewa. We found the experience effortless and rewarding. Thank you both so much!"

C & E Thirsk

"Chris & Nadia Bone did an amazing job of selling my property in a tough market. They deliver everything they promise and always go the extra mile to ensure a smooth and painless process. Highly recommended!"

Diane McCarthy

From the moment Chris and Nadia walked into our home, I knew we had chosen the right agents. Not only are they knowledgeable, genuinely interested and caring, but time and again they went the extra mile to assist in getting not one but two family properties sold in remarkably fast time in a quiet market. We highly recommend them and it's a pleasure to write a testimonial for them.

Paul & Carol Hollows

They are a great couple of professional and totally reliable agents. We have bought and sold a number of homes in recent times and these two dwarf any previous experience.

Kerry & Jeanette

I was buying my first home and it was such a great experience working with Chris and Nadia Bone. They helped me through the whole process and were always available to answer any questions/concerns I had. It was a pleasure working with them and I love my new place! Thanks Nadia & Chris - I will definitely work with you again!

Elize

We asked Chris & Nadia Bone if they would handle the sale of our home as they had recently sold the house of a close friend and they came highly recommended. On our first initial meeting to discuss things, their professionalism and knowledge was immediately apparent. They offered extremely good advice and had great suggestions to help make the selling process as easy and stress-free as possible for us. In preparing our property for sale, they even assisted us with the right contacts to sort minor building issues at minimal cost and inconvenience. They completed our sale in a great timescale in a slow market and achieved an excellent price. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to sell and wanting a top team on their side.

Danny & Susan

We recently bought a property that Chris and Nadia Bone were marketing & selling. Having dealt with several agents in our pursuit to buy, we found Chris to be particularly personable, approachable and accommodating, with no pressure - a refreshing and much appreciated approach. Though we never met Nadia in person, she was super fast, clear and always pleasant in her communications, proving to be quite the team to work with. When we felt overwhelmed and lost in the process of nearing settlement, due to not having dealt with real estate matters for 37 years, Chris was reassuring in his knowledge and always had a calming response to all our questions. I wouldn't hesitate in approaching this lovely team if or when we came to needing real estate services in the future.

Megan

From our first introduction to both Chris and Nadia Bone, we found them to be extremely professional and experienced, along with being very pleasant to deal with. Throughout the property sale they remained informative, kept us up to date and progressed the sale without being overbearing or too pushy to try and close the sale. When we hit a stalemate with neither party willing to move further, Chris & Nadia were instrumental in assisting both parties to an amicable outcome. They were truly professional throughout and we would highly recommend them if you are looking to buy or sell a property.

Patrick & Vicky

Chris and Nadia have helped us through some very trying times. Moving house is always stressful, but they have tried to minimise this in every way possible, with great attention to detail. We cannot recommend them highly enough!

Sue & Bill

Having just successfully sold our three-bedroom seven-year old home in Orewa, we reflect on why it was such a pleasant experience. We simply selected a couple, Chris and Nadia Bone from Barfoot & Thompson Orewa, who ticked all the boxes. Their presentations were always 100%, they were always kind, on time and always ready for appointments. Always cheerful to deal with and positive interactions always. We were extremely happy with the sale of our property and would recommend Nadia and Chris Bone from Barfoot & Thompson Orewa, to anyone. HARD WORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK and it did for us!

Janice & Marion

We can highly recommend Chris and Nadia Bone. It has been our absolute pleasure to deal with Chris and Nadia on the sale of our house. They achieved a positive outcome for us, all the while keeping us up to date at every step. We greatly appreciated their advice on getting our house ready for listing. They are genuine and caring and we felt completely at ease through the whole process.

Daniel & Becky Hemus

Our experience having Chris and Nadia sell our house was simply amazing. They sold our house 10 days in a changing market!

We have dealt with many salespeople over the years but Chris and Nadia are head and shoulders above any we have dealt with. They are very professional and are extremely helpful. They were such a pleasure to deal with and carried out their responsibilities in a professional and thoroughly efficient manner – their communication with us was first-class, keeping us informed every step of the way.

We just can’t recommend Nadia and Chris highly enough – quite simply, they are the “Dream Team”.

A & L Scott

A huge thank you to Chris & Nadia for achieving a great result for us at a difficult time in the market. We were impressed by the effort they put into making the sale process so smooth and easy. They are great communicators and just lovely to work with. We highly recommend them.

Rachel Primrose

We found it a very positive experience to have Chris and Nadia marketing and selling our much loved home, and we recommend them without any reservation to anyone planning to sell or to buy a home. Nadia and Chris were professional, likeable, courteous and realistic and worked hard to market our property as we wished and to get us a good response on a slow market. They were quickly able to establish an open and honest relationship which made us feel our input was valued.

We appreciated the evident effort they put in along with their clear communication, commitment and caring and we remain very happy they were our “first choice".

David & Prue Bell

We have no hesitation in recommending Chris and Nadia. In our view they are the epitome of professionalism, yet with a personal and caring touch. We thoroughly enjoyed our relationship with them and greatly appreciate their efforts in successfully selling our home.

R & B Spells

"We put our home in Millwater up for sale at probably the worst possible time in many years. The market was very slow and buyers cautious; however, with Chris and Nadia working relentlessly on our behalf, we sold. They are genuine, lovely, caring people and totally professional. A rare combination.

We do not hesitate to recommend Chris and Nadia to anyone. You will not be disappointed."

J & D MacCallum

I was most surprised when circumstances necessitated a second move within 12 months. Chris and Nadia Bone again, were my salespeople of choice.

They had only two to three weeks to carry out the marketing, if I was to have any chance to purchase my dream home by the sea! They accepted the challenge and on the afternoon of Auction for the new property, in a market coming off the boil, they presented me with two unconditional offers.

If you're looking for a seamless, high quality real estate service, with salespeople who are genuinely lovely to work with - and real problemsolvers - look no further than Chris and Nadia.

They're accessible, professional and very experienced, and they do what's necessary to get your property sold at the best possible price. Successful and humble - a wonderful, winning combination. Thank you both again.

Cathy Allen MBA

Selling your property is a challenge, and finding the right real estate salesperson that you can be confident will look after your best interests, is no easy process. I had met with and looked at many salespeople selling in the area as well as attending open homes. I found that Chris and Nadia ticked all the boxes that I expected from a real estate salesperson, to sell my mother’s home. They were professional, polite, and honest from start to finish, and were always attentive to detail and communicated very well. They provided me with options and advice that gave me confidence at all stages of the sale process and I would recommend them to anyone selling a property.

Dan Moloney

I engaged Chris Bone and Nadia van Zyl to market my home on the Orewa Estuary. Because it was a big home I wanted two salespeople to handle the open homes. They had shown me properties previously and were always a pleasure to deal with - responsive, accessible and helpful. Their knowledge of the market was second-to-none, they were supportive of what I wanted to achieve and worked consistently with that goal in mind, to reach a great outcome. Nothing was too much trouble and they were just so pleasant to work with. They were a brilliant choice and I would highly recommend them to anyone selling or buying a property.

Cathy Allen, MBA

A big thank you and much appreciation goes out to Chris Bone and Nadia van Zyl. Best way to describe this dynamic duo is that they are easy to work with, good communicators, and very professional. Our house was ready to be put on the market for auction and then another Lockdown occurred. Chris and Nadia quickly adapted, set the house for sale by negotiation, and it sold within just a few days. Great job team! I highly recommend these two great people.

Chris Burnett

Just wanted to thank Chris and Nadia for helping us through the buying process. They were both incredibly helpful, very pleasant to deal with and just genuinely nice people. No matter what time of the day it was when we texted or emailed a question, the response time was fast and very helpful. Thank you both for all your help. The industry needs more people like you!

Kieran Barakat & Rhian Collings

I was fortunate to have Chris Bone and Nadia van Zyl help in the sale of my late brother's home in Orewa.

As we live in New Plymouth, it proved challenging for us to be on site to do the many things required for the sale. However, the process was made easy and stress-free with the truly competent and professional services of Chris and Nadia, who went above and beyond what most real estate salespeople would do. They achieved an excellent outcome. We would highly recommend them.

The Sweeney family

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful service you provided during the recent sale of our house in Orewa. It felt very much a personal service, unfailingly friendly and attentive and quick as well. We are also well pleased with the result you achieved for us!

Maynard & Monique Niemeyer

We recently sold our home in Orewa with the help of Chris Bone and Nadia van Zyl, and what a pleasant experience it was.

From initial advice to marketing, open homes to their comprehensive updates, Chris and Nadia couldn’t be faulted – a hard-working, wise and empathetic team, wrapped in a rare combination of energy and the sense of calm so badly needed during what is often a stressful time. 

We were impressed by their professionalism and integrity – and very happy with the outcome. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough. 

Patrick & Ruth Goodenough

Being in the daunting position of selling a home for the first time, Chris & Nadia ensured that we were fully informed every step of the way. They were both very accommodating with fitting into our busy family/work schedules and extremely knowledgeable with the current market conditions. Most importantly, they were able to secure a result that we were happy with. Their tag team approach worked extremely well at open homes providing fresh and energetic interaction with potential buyers. Overall we were both very impressed with the regular communication and punctuality shown by them both. We would happily recommend both Chris and Nadia to anyone who may be thinking of selling their home.

The Uptons

I found Nadia and Chris from Orewa Barfoot & Thompson to be very professional, hard working, supportive and considerate. I would happily recommend them to anyone.

Yvette Farnsworth

We have recently sold our property in Orewa and Chris Bone and Nadia Van Zyl acted as our salespeople. From our initial query and meeting, and through the sale process, we found them to show enthusiasm for our property, kept us informed of progress and were readily available when we needed advice or had any queries.

It is our pleasure to recommend them to anyone looking for salespeople that will have their clients' interests at heart and make the selling process as painless as possible.

Chris & Lynn Smith

I have found the experience of working with Chris Bone and Nadia van Zyl incredibly easy. I was a very motivated vendor. It was an investment property I needed to sell so I was not emotionally attached. I needed a result and you both understood this and delivered. The communication was excellent and I appreciate that you understood my position and gave me the real story when required. Great to work with you both and thanks for achieving the result.

Dean Edwards

"In many years of buying and selling property I was fortunate to recently work with Nadia van Zyl and Chris Bone from Orewa Barfoot & Thompson, selling my late mother's home. They were exceptional. From their compassionate understanding of our particular circumstances, to listening and not pushing until we were ready to list. I appreciated so many things that they did: their ethical advice, experience and helpful assistance with everything at all times. Not once was anything too much bother. The sale process was smooth and very successful. I can't think of a single thing that could have been done better. A huge Thank You! Barfoot & Thompson are very lucky to have them!"

J Nicholson

Chris and Nadia worked with us to sell our home and also assisted in the search for our next property investment. We have found Chris and Nadia to be responsive, well informed, professional and authentic in all of our interactions with them. They display a strong commitment to their clients and have always engaged with us in a way where we feel valued and that no question was an inconvenience. It was our experience that Chris and Nadia work to get the best outcome possible for their clients, and do it in a way that engenders trust for everyone involved.

We would absolutely use Nadia and Chris again when selling or purchasing property.

Adam & Kim Beadle

What an amazing experience! Chris Bone and Nadia van Zyl from Barfoot & Thompson Orewa made our experience stress-free and achieved an outstanding result. For us as first home sellers, they could not have made the process any easier!

Chris and Nadia thank you so much! David you have an amazing team! Thank you!

The Everiss Family

Chris Bone and Nadia van Zyl have been extremely helpful and informative in marketing my house. 

They explained all the ramifications of the ways of marketing and what I could expect from each of them. They kept me well informed with progress of the open homes and throughout the campaign. 

All through the process I was kept up to date with any prospective purchasers and after the sale they were able to guide me forward. I cannot recommend them enough for their kindness and expertise.

Maureen Gresty

We engaged Chris Bone and Nadia van Zyl to sell our home in Red Beach, and cannot speak highly enough of them. They were extremely professional on all levels and kept us informed throughout the process.

Their experience and expertise resulted in us securing a great offer and subsequent sale. We are very happy vendors. Many thanks to Chris and Nadia.

Andrea Pegden

There were two prerequisites that I was looking for when choosing a salesperson to market my house. One was integrity and the other communication. I can confidently say that Chris Bone and Nadia van Zyl of Barfoot & Thompson, Orewa, ticked the boxes. During our initial consult we discussed our expectations and they explained their plan of action going forward. Throughout the process, we were on the same page, and things flowed smoothly.

Then we hit a bump in the road with the sudden and unexpected ‘Lockdown'. Despite this, they continued to encourage me, and kept me well informed of pending developments.

Their perseverance paid off, and led to the successful conclusion of the sale of my home, for which I am most grateful.

I can truly say that Chris and Nadia were exemplary in their character and conduct as professional real estate salespeople and I highly recommend them.

Judy Acheson

"Thank you so much. It has been a journey made easier with Chris and Nadia working alongside me to get my property sold. We kept the faith and arrived."

Pauline Russell-Green

Chris Bone & Nadia van Zyl were really professional, approachable, and did not hassle us to sign with them - they waited until we were ready to list our property and kept in touch throughout the whole process. We had never anticipated taking the property to Auction but in hindsight this was the best option with the best outcome, as it has a clearly defined timeline and we were delighted to have a good result. Would definitely recommend listing with Chris and Nadia, or even just talking with them to find out what is available. They are locals to Orewa which made a really big difference to us, talking to someone who knows the area and the market.

Stuart and Vic Dunlop

The service we received during the sale process was outstanding. Nothing was too much effort. Chris Bone & Nadia van Zyl made it simple. We would have no hesitation to recommend them.

Chris Anderson

I am writing this to thoroughly recommend this very efficient caring team. Barfoot & Thompson are lucky to have them on their staff. I have had a really wonderful experience in selling my much-loved home of almost 30 years. Both Chris and Nadia have been mindful of my recent health problems and have gone out of their way to relieve me of any of the stress that happens with selling a property. They always took into account my need for rest periods and always made sure they explained fully the legal aspects of transactions. They were so supportive on the Auction day which was held at my home in the rain.
I will be recommending them to friends and family as top agents to sell their properties in the future. I thank them sincerely for their professionalism, attention to detail and the wonderful and caring experience of selling my home in a timely way.
Yours sincerely

Wendy Lashbrook

Chris and Nadia sold our elderly mother's home in only three weeks in a slower market. They made the whole process so easy and stress-free for us. Thank you so much for all you both did. You went beyond what is the norm and we as a family feel so thankful.

Judith Curreen

It has been a great pleasure to have worked with Chris Bone and Nadia van Zyl to sell our Hatfields Beach property. They marketed the property with the highest professionalism and integrity. Their communication every step of the way has been faultless and tireless, and their work on our behalf tremendous. We would highly recommend them to anyone selling a home.

Peter and Eileen Revell

Chris and Nadia recently sold our home and acted in a very professional manner. They kept us informed of progress and gave us good advice. We would definitely recommend them as a friendly and trustworthy team.

Chris & Michelle McDermott

We would like to thank Chris Bone & Nadia van Zyl for the fine job they did in selling our property. Their communication was first class which made the experience of selling very relaxed and the result was very satisfactory. Thank you both for your effort.

Kevin & Lyn Davey

The service I received from Chris Bone and Nadia van Zyl was very positive, friendly and professional. Catering for the feelings of an elderly parent in the house was most appreciated. Chris and Nadia were always a pleasure to deal with which made for an enjoyable experience. I would not hesitate in recommending them both to others.

William White

I appointed Chris Bone and Nadia van Zyl from Barfoot & Thompson Orewa to sell my Red Beach Property. As we all know this can be a very stressful time but Chris and Nadia took the stress away...In my situation, I'm living overseas and these two guided me step by step keeping me well informed the whole time, communicating excellently with my tenants and myself. They went the extra mile to help me in every way possible I can't praise them enough ..absolutely fantastic team.

Sue Jeffs

We are writing to congratulate you both for your outstanding effort in selling our home in a changing market. Through our involvement in the Real Estate Industry, over a number of years, we know your professionalism; factual marketing information reporting and marketing recommendations place you both at the highest level in the business. Were we selling again in the future, we would employ you again in a heartbeat.
Many thanks for the stress-free experience!!

Ron and Julie Parry

It was a pleasure working with Nadia and Chris on the sale of our home. They were readily available with any questions or queries, they provided exceptional communication and feedback and were honest with where the current real estate market was at. Well presented total professionals - they are the total package. We would have no hesitation recommending or working with them again.

Bryan & Sue Turley

I highly recommend Barfoot & Thompson. I recently bought & sold homes through the Orewa agency with Nadia van Zyl & Chris Bone. I was highly impressed with their personalized, impeccable, efficient & friendly service. I was kept in touch with every step of the process and they patiently guided me through it all. All done in a matter of a few weeks. Absolutely stunning. Nadia and Chris are the best real estate agents! Thank you so very much for the wonderful help and service. I can't thank you enough.

Robyn Crocome

Our family had the pleasure of working with Chris and Nadia to sell our late mother's home (and beloved garden). This was a very difficult time for the family as it was like letting go of the last tangible memory. Both Nadia and Chris went way above and beyond what we expected, were sensitive to our situation and updated us regularly on progress. I definitely was relaxed knowing that Nadia and Chris were working so hard on our behalf. Thank you Nadia and Chris, you make a good team and I have no hesitation in recommending you both to others selling a home.

Lewis Jaine

We had a great rapport with Chris Bone and Nadia van Zyl throughout our buying and selling process. Both were professional, friendly, reliable and very helpful. They were excellent communicators, kept us fully informed and answered our many questions along the way. We would be happy to recommend them both to anyone considering listing their property in future.

Ron & Helen Reed

I chose Chris and Nadia to handle the sale of my home of 20 years, and found them to be unfailingly polite, professional and patient. Their hard work resulted in a quick sale for a good price. I can recommend this friendly and enthusiastic pair.

Carolyn Williamson

Chris and Nadia are very professional and certainly listen to your needs. We never felt like just another potential buyer, from progressing with our application, right down to the celebratory gift basket, it was all tailored to meet our needs. We can't praise them highly enough.

Melanie & Hayden

We have been very impressed with agents Chris Bone & Nadia van Zyl from Barfoot & Thomson Orewa. Throughout the marketing process, they have been professional, reliable and extremely helpful and reassuring. We were fully informed with progress every step of the way. We would thoroughly recommend this friendly and dynamic duo.

Del & Cindy Henley

Selling our treasured family home was not an easy decision and felt a bit daunting to start with. However Chris Bone & Nadia van Zyl made the process and experience a positive one for us. They went out of their way to provide us with excellent service and advice on the sale of our property. Detailed weekly updates and reports kept us well informed with buyer feedback and progress. Throughout the entire process they had our best interests at heart and worked tirelessly to get us the best possible outcome. We would have absolutely no hesitation recommending Chris & Nadia and Barfoot & Thompson to anyone looking to sell.

Len & Dorothy Anne Harris

Chris and Nadia were absolutely outstanding in their approach, professionalism and in particular their patience when communicating with my elderly mother, who was the vendor. They had a superb knowledge of the market in my mother's area and despite the market being slow at the time, they consistently had potential purchasers visiting the property. They were very responsive and gave detailed reports after each open home. I do not hesitate in recommending them as an agent and would certainly use them again!

Richard Millar

I have just purchased a property with the help of Chris. His help and suggestions over some six months of my search has been invaluable. He kept me in touch with all current listings within my price bracket and had a sound understanding of what I was looking for. His appraisals were accurate and as I was living overseas did the successful bidding at Auction on my behalf. He seems happy to go the extra mile for purchasers. I am delighted with the result. I am pleased to recommend Chris as a very pleasant and very professional agent. I wish him all the best in future transactions.

J O'Shea​

Dear Chris and Nadia

"Thank you for your gift and the lovely note, also thank you for your encouragement notes left on the days of Open Homes and the little bars of chocolate.
We will be only too happy to recommend 'Barfoot & Thompson' to family and friends anytime in the future. Take care".

Kindest regards

Margery & Stuart​

"When we decided to sell our home we were fortunate to have met Chris Bone from Barfoot & Thompson. Chris was always very professional and honest with us and was always prepared to help and advise us. He kept us well informed and was always available to answer any questions that we had, he was always quick to return any calls or txt.
Chris gave us a very accurate appraisal, reflecting his knowledge of the area, he stood by his price and his marketing advice was excellent. We feel that Chris listened to what we wanted and did his best to achieve the best result for us. Chris was always friendly and his sincere personality made dealing with him a pleasure. We would highly recommend Chris to represent anyone selling their property."

Grant and Jacquie Alsop

"Chris Bone from Barfoot & Thompson in Orewa recently marketed my home in Red Beach and brought it to a very successful sale at auction.
Throughout the initial consultation process, marketing of the property and the subsequent auction, Chris was highly professional at all times.
As a first time seller I knew nothing but Chris made me feel at ease at all stages of the process and on auction day, he and his colleagues were there to offer support.
I would recommend Chris and Barfoot & Thompson to anyone contemplating buying or selling their property."

Barbara Everiss

"I would like to thank you on behalf of the family for your fantastic effort. You have been committed to the sale, kept us very well informed throughout the process & have been a pleasure to work with."

Colleen Anstey

"I would like to thank you for the professional and energetic way you marketed the family home at Red Beach.
From the beginning of the process you provided an excellent service and sound advice about preparing and marketing the property, worked hard at getting buyers to view the house and excellent progress reports and phone calls. Thanks very much for getting us a very satisfactory result at auction."

Ken Becker

"I recently had the pleasure of dealing with Chris Bone from Barfoot & Thompson's Orewa office. From the moment I met him he struck me as an honest and sincere professional who genuinely cared about meeting the needs of his clients. Chris took the time to find out what type of property I was looking for and those factors that were important to my purchase. He was patient when I had repeated visits to a property and proactive letting me know about other prospective homes on the market. What struck me in this whole process was Chris' ability to actively listen to your requirements, his sincerity in getting you the right property and he always does what he says he will do. If you want a real estate salesperson in Rodney you can trust, then I would highly recommend Chris Bone. Thanks Chris for making the buying process so easy."

V. Picard

"Having made the decision to sell our home it was with some trepidation we contemplated how we would go about this and who we could entrust with this task. Clint had had some association with Chris through some building work he had done for him, and after meeting him for an appraisal we were more than happy to engage Chris to market and sell our home. He gave us good advice, which we followed and we felt confident in his ability to sell our home. He guided us through the marketing, open home and auction process with ease, and was respectful, professional and had a great attention to detail. We had a successful auction outcome, and we would like to thank Chris for all the effort he put in to help us achieve this. Chris is very personable and professional and we felt fortunate to have dealt with him and have no hesitation, and have already, recommended his services to others. He communicated with us well and the kids thought he was great too. We wish Chris the very best for the future and a long and successful career in real estate."

Tanya and Clint Brown

"Today we received a lovely basket of goodies with the bubbles! We really appreciate your help in selling our property at Arden - on occasions over and above "the call of duty". We'll keep in touch."

Bronwyn & Peter

"Moving house in our eighties to return to our home town in Lower Hutt after 19 years in Orewa seemed such a formidable task. We still held some not so good memories of dealing with real Estate agents but the first day we walked into Barfoot and Thompson our minds were put at ease by the friendly atmosphere. Chris Bone took us under his wing and considered us first each with action he took. At no time did we feel under any pressure and
looked forward to his visits. It all seemed too good to be true and now we are on our way.
Thank you so much Chris for your kindness. We have already recommended you to friends and will continue to do so."

Noeline and Ivan Still

"Having recently purchased a property in Orewa, I would like to acknowledge Chris Bone's assistance in making this transition happen in such an honest and helpful way. Chris's professional and friendly manner throughout the process of purchase was outstanding. I was kept fully informed of each change to the agreement. When I needed extra viewings of the house, Chris was always happy to arrange these for me. I would happily recommend Chris for his professional manner, integrity and attention to detail, to any client wishing to either buy or sell a property."

Toni Prentis

"Some time ago I decided to sell my home and move to another area some distance away. I had listed with another agency but their efforts proved unsuccessful and I withdrew from the market and was on the point of giving up...until, one day Chris Bone came to my door and offered to help get things going again, with his enthusiasm and encouragement I allowed him to act as my agent and from that time on things changed. Soon there was a steady stream of viewers and in due course a sale was obtained. Throughout the process I was given support and encouragement. Chris was respectful and attentive and considerate, even driving me to the area where I had chosen to live, arranging with other agencies to assist me to view available properties and finalise a purchase.
I thoroughly recommend this gentleman who showed me much kindness in what can be a trying exercise for anyone and especially for an elderly person."

Marie Johansen

"In August 2012 I approached four Real Estate Agents via their Open Homes and personal visitation and stated my requirements. After one month I had heard back from only one Agent with email details of one house. I then visited Barfoot and Thompson, Orewa and was introduced to Chris Bone. I felt I was in "safe hands" from the day I met him. He really listened to me as I told him what I was looking for, and during the whole traumatic process of buying a house he was in constant contact with me, informing me of every little process that took place. I was never left wondering as to what stage the purchase was at with Real Estate, Vendor and Purchaser solicitor requirements.
If ever I buy another house I will definitely approach Chris. If any friend or acquaintance requires a house in this district I shall send them to Chris. I have complete confidence in him.
I do unreservedly and unhesitatingly recommend Chris Bone as an honest, reliable and decent man to deal with regarding the buying of Real Estate in this area."

"I recently sold a house through your company. I do not generally write letters of thanks but feel compelled to bring to your attention the work that Chris Bone has done for me. In the early stages of my decision making process I spoke to Chris along with half a dozen other agents. Chris was open and honest in stating that he was new to the real estate game and was still feeling his way. Due to Chris's general demeanour and personality I decided to take a chance on him, which proved to be a wise decision.
Chris kept me fully informed of feedback from open homes etc. He also kept in regular contact via phone and email in relation to people wanting to view the house. I was also impressed that he sought advice from colleagues if he was uncertain about anything rather than attempt to bluff his way through.
I believe Chris has a great future in real estate and is an asset to your company.
Thank you."
